Main Menu Mods

Hey all :-) while updating my UI mods and playing around with the new main menu file, I got a couple ideas and decided to put up a new post since I'll be separating the main menu overrides from my UI recolor mods, as well as putting up smaller mods for you to download.

  • 🆕 October 2, 2026: new logo & main menu override [Retro98 UI]

  • July 6, 2026: updated Sketchy UI. Please also update the required Refreshed Main Menu mod.

  • May 4, 2026: new logo & main menu override [PaperLite UI]

  • March 25, 2026: updated Sketchy UI and added Pastel Green Logo and Main Menu overrides. I've also removed all small mods (except for logo and sketchy UI) since they are no longer required. If you'd still want the hide news feature, you can use the Refreshed Main Menu 3 mod instead.

    • All Logos have been renamed and slightly edited. You can install them anywhere :-)

  • August 24, 2025: updated main menu overrides (now compatible & requires w/ Refreshed Main Menu 3), new custom logos, and removed the Remove Clutter mods. Please delete any main menu files of mine that you've installed!

  • August 3, 2025: added main menu overrides for pastel & beige ui


Small Mods

#1 - Custom Main Menu Logos [LATEST UPDATE : October 2, 2026]

I've separated custom logos from my main menu overrides so that you can use them interchangeably :-)

  • To install, download "vyxated - Main Menu Logos.zip", extract the file you'd like to install, and put it in the same folder as SimMattically's Refreshed Main Menu 3_BASE file (if you have it) in order to override the mod's custom logo.

  • Compatible with other main menu overrides? ✅

#2 - Sketchy UI 📰 [LATEST UPDATE : July 6, 2026]

A redraw of the plumbob icon, The Sims logo, and some UI elements :)

  • Included in the "vyxated - Main Menu Logos.zip" file.

    • To install, extract "vyxated-Chalk'd-SketchyUI" and put it in your mods folder. (Remove previous Sketchy UI files.)

  • Compatible with other main menu overrides? ✅


Main Menu Overrides

My main menu overrides are now compatible with & requires Refreshed Main Menu 3.2 base file! Install as many as you like or just a select few :-)

  • Delete any previous main menu overrides of mine you have installed as they are broken.

  • Custom graphics (such as the logo and redrawn UIs) have been separated from these mods.

  • 🆕 The vignette (seen in the PaperLite preview) is toggleable w/ G. Please update the required Refreshed Main Menu mod to get the new feature.

// Chalk'd UII

  • comes in two versions: with and without board.

// Sims 2 UI

  • comes in two versions: v1 inspired by TS2 loading screen, v2 by the world selection menu.

// Sims 1 UI

// Pastel UIs

  • pastel pink: v1 (left) & v2 (right)

  • pastel blue: v1 (left) & v2 (right)

  • pastel purple: v1 (left) & v2 (right)

  • beige: v1 (left) & v2 (right)

  • pastel green: v1 (left) & v2 (right)

// PaperLite UI

  • v1: white bg ; v2: yellow bg

// Retro98 UI

  • v1: blue bg ; v2: teal bg

Have the latest refreshed main menu mod and press G.

Hi, the Sketchy UI included in "vyxated - Main Menu Logos.zip" is the March 25, 2026 version. I can't find the July 6, 2026 version anywhere.

v
vyxated · July 10, 2026

Fixed, thanks! somehow forgot to replace the actual file 😅

SimMattically · July 6, 2026

I love your designs and am so happy you chose to make them compatible with Refreshed Main Menu 3. It’s wonderful to see my mod being used by other creators. I'm glad it fulfilled its mission. 🥹

Hi! I would like to write that I downloaded the pink interface, and I recently wanted to delete it! However, I am unable to completely delete it, even with the help of the Mod manager. It is possible that your names were incorrect, or I may not understand something...

is there a way to keep the main menu yours instead of the default from SimMattically's mod

You can resize the household image via the slider from the bottom left. More details on the Refreshed Main Menu 3 mod's post since it's a feature of said mod.

The MainMenu HideNews is broken for me after the 03/18 update

v
vyxated · March 21, 2026

It may end up being removed since I'm likely to incorporate the file into Chalk'd UI for the pack detail recolors but excluding the hide menu functionality. You may want to get SimMattically's Refreshed Main Menu instead since it has that functionality and more

I have a question do I need the SimMatically Refreshed main mod even tho im just using ur main menu n just one ? bcuz thats how i have it n is not working for me.

It's required, yes

Hi! I'm not seeing the pastel blue ui main menu when I load into game, I think it may need an update for the newest patch. Thank you for all of you work!

v
vyxated · January 21, 2026

The mod is working fine as it contains only an image file. You'll need to install the required Refreshed Main Menu mod by SimMatically for it to show up

B
Bruh · January 7, 2026

How did you get rid of the black vignette for the pastel overrides? I have them but the black vignette in the main menu looks bad with the pastel background, and I noticed that in the preview images the vignette isn't there

v
vyxated · January 21, 2026

The left vignette is part of the Refreshed Main Menu mod, so from my end there isn't anything I could do to remove it. The non vignette previews were taken when it was using LunarBritney's main menu readjusted mod as a base, but since it's discontinued I've been unable to recreate the main menu as it was before ^^;

Z
ZoeZombiex3 · November 25, 2025

Does anyone have a video on how to install this? I'm so confused reading the instructions, nothing makes sense I feel like I would be better off watching a video to understand what to do.

K
Khalia Eláni Franklin · November 27, 2025

heyy bookiee, do you see where the credits are? You would have to download SimMattically's Refreshed Main Menu 3. Read through that and download the base then come back here and download your override. and thats all sweetheart<33

Hi vyxated! I have a question, do you intend to make the main menu logo in the green version?

A
Amethyst Lilac · October 3, 2025

With Hide News installed, whenever I get a full page ad on the main menu, the ad is visually glitched (how varies by which ad it is) and I get a UI error. I've been trying since early September to narrow down which mod was causing it, but since there's no way to force an ad, it's been slow going, removing one UI mod at a time until I get another ad. Finally today I got an ad and the only UI mod I've removed is Hide News. Sorry that I can't test with it alone, which would be better, but it's next to impossible - I've been restarting my game for a couple of hours testing a mod and only just got an ad.

K
KylaJaz · October 1, 2025

Hi, I keep getting UI exceptions when I have the "Hide News" file in my folder.

KayyHawt · September 26, 2025

Hi, im not sure if im doing something wrong. this is my first time using a main menu mod. but i am using the chalk'd main menu override.. if its up to date, am i doing something incorrect? I downloaded and placed in my mods folder within the chalk'd ui folder. I have never used a main menu override so i dont have any old versions or different main menu overrides

v
vyxated · September 26, 2025

You should also download the linked Refreshed Main Menu mod for it to work

J
Jack Wilson · September 16, 2025

Have the up to date Refreshed Main Menu, up to date Chalk'd UI with all the correct modules. The Sketchy UI file is in the same folder as Main Menu but still won't override the mods custom logo. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

E
Elle · September 14, 2025

Not sure if I am the only one who had this issue, but I figured I would share. I had to add another “!” at the beginning of the Pastel Pink UI Main Menu Logo file for it to load properly with Refreshed Main Menu v3. In that folder is the RMM base file, one of the backgrounds from RMM, and your logo. So, problem solved, but this might help anyone else who ran into this issue.

Jack Wilson · September 16, 2025

Thank you!! I was having the same issue and just tried this, and it's worked!

Hi! I don't know if you take suggestions, but I was thinking... is it possible to remove the event tab from live mod the same way (where the holidays are)? It's super annoying and breaks the immersion a lot, and I am sure I won't be the only one who hates it - there's a thread on EA Forums about turning it off, but sadly EA won't do this :( It makes my neurodivergent mind go crazy. If you're interested in this, of course! And thank you for this mod and many options - they're super helpful, without them the game is insanely overwhelming

it still works. make sure you remove _DX11 from the shader addon .ini file

LuciaSims · January 31, 2025

I love it, there is also the one from lunar britney, I need this for the events to work, as KiaraSims wrote that in her article, i just don't know which one to pick, like which are the differences from this to lunar britney's one + is this compatible with the Main Menu by Simmatticaly or other custom Main Menu overrides? I love the Sims 2 UI, does it also changes the whole UI of the game to Sims 2?

S
Sejian · February 7, 2025

Main Menu Overrides conflict with each other because they modify the same Scale Form GFX resource. You should only have one in your Mods folder at any given time. Also, the devil is in the details: The big difference here is the permanent removal of the News/Marketing panel.

Another creator says to download the mod mentioned in the link provided by SimmerrBoi96 that will allow you to still use their custom main menu mods, but I don't see anywhere that it says it will disable EA's dynamic menu. The mod states it will conflict with main menu mods. So how are we supposed to still be able to use our own?
